Target demographics: pregnant teens and young women, famlies seeking to adopt. Young people, 18 years and older who are challenged with a disability and those who are deaf. We do not discriminate with regards to religion, race or gender. Students must be 18 years or older to enroll in SCHI and there are age requirements for families seeking to adopt.

Direct beneficiaries per year: In 2010 Adoption Services provided adoption outreach to 248 pregnant teens and young women. Forty Nine enrolled in the program and 34 babies were placed in loving homes. SCHI provided a transitional education to 134 young adults with disabilties.

Someone who had 3 hours of volunteer time could: Help maintain our 25 acre campus; we need skill workers to assist in building an outdoor pavillon for our students with disabilities; you may assist in mail outs. We need someone adept with social media to assist in our efforts to outreach.

Geographic areas served: Primarily Texas but also some nationally

Mission:

Methodist Mission Home offers hope to individuals facing spiritually, emotionally and physically challenging circumstances so they may lead enriched, rewarding and satisfying lives.

Through professional guidance and compassionate support, teens and young women facing unplanned pregnancies and families considering adoption make mutually beneficial decisions.

Through transitional education including life skills and vocational training, young adults with disabilities and those who are deaf develop confidence and competence to reach their personal level of independent living.

Results:

Since 1890’s adoption services has been our signature service. Since 1947 we have placed over 5700 babies in loving families. Since 1974, thousands of young adults with disabilities have received life skills and/or vocational training towards personal independence.
